MEATSPACKLE

So I've decided to kick off a little exercise:

Memorable and Extraordinary Actors To Seek a Possible Awesome Collaboration with Later
(MEATSPACL - or - Meatspackle)

I guess the reasoning is this: Hollywood actors aren't as far out of reach as they sometimes seem. Although actors are obviously selective about the projects they sign onto, the real hurdle with guild actors is being able to pay them. Really the only difference between Hollywood media company a young media company like Quarter Orange, is money. Anyway, we may not be able to get ahold of Gary Oldman or Michael Caine just yet, but there are a ton of talented actors who are a bit more within reach.

So a Meatspackle will consist of one actor, a little background, and a film they appear in to check out. Awesome!

CASE IN POINT:

Watched a Film called Henry Poole Is Here, directed by Mark Pellington (the guy who directed The Mothman Prophecies and a bunch of U2 videos.) Interesting, atmospheric sort of movie; super-depressed Luke Wilson buys a house to fix up an sell, but it's got a Christ-like stain on an outside wall that seems to heal people. The performance that stood out to me was a character named Patience, played by Rachel Seiferth. Her character can barely see, wears thick, thick glasses, but touches Luke's wall stain and miraculously regains her vision. She's only been in a few other films, and is apparently working as a personal assistant, but she was totally awesome. Come on up to Portland and we'll make a movie Rachel Seiferth!
